World's First Power Plant Using Osmosis To Generate Power Opened in Norway
If a failed Russian missile launch hadn't been confirmed as the instigator for those mysterious sky spirals, we would've seriously looked at this osmotic power plant in Norway as the potential source. More » -

The Truth: Mysterious Spiral Explanation Actually Was Alien Sighting Cover-Up
I admit it: I'm part of a worldwide plot coordinated by a secret international agency. We're the same people who covered the fake Apollo landings, JFK's assassination, and Tom Cruise. Fortunately, some readers uncovered the truth behind the mysterious spiral. More » -

Just Me, Or Do These Plans For the World's Tallest Wooden Building Look Like a Giant Game of Jenga?
If it weren't for, you know, concrete and steel—more of us would live in buildings like this planned Norwegian tower. At 16 to 17-stories high, it'll also out-do this crazy Russian do-it-yourselfer who built a 13-story wooden castle: More » -

Norwegian PM's Monitor Rig Surely Doubles As Tanning Bed During Long Winter Months

LED Wall in Norway Transforms Pedestrian Shadows Into Light
If you've been in Norway this past year or so, you may have happened upon The Strømer, an interactive LED wall that turns shadows into light. Based on architect Stig Skjelvik's Dobpler prototype, the display lights up as people move through Norway's Sandnes Sentrum pedestrian tunnel, leaving illuminated trails in their wake. Constructed as part of the city's European Capitol of Culture 2008 event, it's unknown how long the wall will be up. Check it out if you're in the area. [ Inhabitat] -

Public Megaphone Takes Drunk Dialing to Insane New Levels
More often than not, very public art installations are pretentious and, well...pretty damn stupid. But every once in a while you come across a rare gem like the "Telemegaphone Dale." On August 2nd, anyone with a telephone can call a 23-foot tall loudspeaker sculpture on top of the Bergskletten mountain in Western Norway and have your voice ring out over the land. Naturally, the hills will be alive with the sound of drunken morons shouting profanities across the pristine landscape, but if you want to be one of those morons, hit the following link on the 2nd for the number you need to call.

Norwegian Ski Hotel Placed Right On The Slopes
io9 found this great concept by Danish design architects BIG which places a hotel against the side of a mountain with the idea that hotel patrons can finish off a ski or snowboard run by riding directly to their floor. The hotel looks absolutely epic, and I like the way the wavy lines of the hotel match the tracks left on snow by skis and snowboards. [BIG via io9] More »
